I recently was given an old carte de visite photo album containing about 60 images. I'm curious about the previous owners, and posted a story about it on my Family Photo Reunion blog. I'm particularly interested in learning which manor house is featured in a photo inside the album. Can you help? Please drop by and have a look if you can:

I am surprised there are zero replies to this knowing how clever Rootschatters are at discovering places from photos and pictures.
I think the photo show the back of a manor house/stately home and that's why it hasn't been recognised.
What do you think?

Hi Judy,
Thanks for revitalizing this post. I still haven't had any luck discovering which manor house this is. I volunteer at a Family History Centre and last month had a woman from Northumberland come in. She said that the place looked familiar to her, but she couldn't remember from where. She thought perhaps only a part of the building remains standing. I think you are probably right about the photograph being taken from the back of the manor. There's a possibility as well, that the place no longer exists. I still have a lot of research to do on the photographs inside. Perhaps something there will yield a clue.

There's a friendly lady on here called Aspin and she's from Northumberland so perhaps she will be able to help you.
By the way it's a lovely story about your husband buying you such a treasured gift.

I'm bumping this thread, in the hope that someone might be able to help me identify this manor. I still haven't had any luck.
Thanks!

Hi Carol.
Don't know whether it would work, but have you thought about a reverse image search?
There's a few out there, but try this one:https://www.tineye.com/ (https://www.tineye.com/)
Good luck.
